So I wanted to make a collage type picture. I took The smiling guy from this picture I took of an apple store. I used the eraser tool to get rid of as much background as I could. I then copy and pasted him several times into another picture. I wanted to play around with perspective. I did this by taking copies and making them bigger or smaller and arranging them to give the illusion of distance. The background is just a picture I took of my backyard to give the comic invasion look more validity by being in a space that looks obviously real compared to the cartoon. Cartoons are invading. I like how this looks. I need to make sure I pay attention to using the eraser tool carefully.

Another design project was to put a fat cat into a famous work of art. Obviously I chose Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” and the melon head cat, because few things go better together than classic religious art and cats with fruit on their heads. I just used basic tools to crop out the surrounding image around the cat’s head and then place it over… Jesus’s. Is this blasphemy?

This is my album cover that I made for the nonexistent band The Golden Record, and their debut EP, “Several Thousand Things.” I followed the directions of Albums Without Sound to obtain the names and the photo.

I didn’t do anything to edit the photo in terms of contrast/saturation/etc. because it has already been edited and what I did didn’t really contribute to how the image looked. I have always liked contrasts between serif and sans-serif fonts, so I decided to do that for this cover. I aligned the band’s name with the angle that the projected image is on, and then scattered the album title along the man’s silhouette. I messed with the alignment a little because “several thousand things” to me just seems to go along with the idea of scattered objects. I toyed with the idea of scattering the letters in the words themselves, but it made it too hard to read and I think that the way it’s aligned now works out too.
